Kansas broke new ground in f$cking up a state's economy by cutting taxes to the bone while making sure every school covered creationsim. Now Oklahoma is reckoning with the economic…

Representative Dan Lipinski is a House version of Tom Carper. His voting record is pro-Trump (like Carper's) in a district that is solidly Democratic (like Carper's). Betting markets currently have him as the underdog. I hope that holds.

Rep. Dan Lipinski, a conservative-leaning Democrat unaccustomed to close elections, came to make his pitch at the St. Patrick's Day party for seniors just as the retirees finished their corned beef and cabbage. Before the seniors got to their dessert, the veteran lawmaker facing a liberal insurgency brewing in his party touted his commitment to bringing federal dollars to the district.

"Die" is perhaps not the right term. "Turned into an unpassable shitmess that gives even more to the banks" is closer. That's right. Carper's plan to allow 25 of the nation's 38 biggest banks return to the casino with deposits and have their gambling losses underwritten by you, while allowing lenders to racially discriminate when writing mortgages doesn't go FAR ENOUGH for House GOPers.

I consider Sondheim's score for 'Follies' to be one of the greatest ever written for Broadway.  Depending on what version of the show you see, you could hear up to…

Republicans have figured out why they lost that special election last night: Rick Saccone's pornstache. No, I'm not making that up; one GOP operative actually blamed the mustache, as if…

I don't know why Tom Carper and Chris Coons don't get it. Where is the urgency? Trump is just another President for Carper to cut deals with on behalf of banks. Coons is just AWOL. Fortunately Democratic voters have a sense of urgency. They are turning out in droves to oppose Trump's GOP. Cynics will say that Connor Lamb was a conservative, and that Democrats didn't really gain much, but that misses the point. It mistakes the movement of the clock's minute hand for the whirling internal mechanism that moved it.

January 2005 Trump marries Slovenian-born model Melania Knauss in West Palm Beach, FL, in a lavish $1 million reception at his Mar-a-Lago estate. March 2006 Melania Trump gives birth to son Barron in NYC on March 20. “I continue to stay young, right?” Trump boasts 20 minutes after the delivery. “I produce children, I stay young.”

Rex Tillerson finally managed to get himself fired yesterday, apparently for telling the obvious truth that the Russians assassinate people in other countries, often England. His no-class piece of shit…
